What is palm leaf?
There are many different types of fan palm, but the species we use come from the tropical regions of Asia. There, the palms grow for more than 30 years before they finally flower, produce fruit and die. As the palm tree grows, leaves are cut off and dried in the sun. The thick veins are removed from the leaves to be used as the framework for woven products. And the greenish or pale yellow leaves are woven into baskets.
